    There are concerns that chlorine may compensate or mask poorer hygiene and animal welfare standards earlier in the food chain.

    That’s exactly the problem.

    That, and British people need British farmers to stay solvent; Americans dumping chicken on the market doesn’t help with that.

      Every US meat product has so much shit in it that you can only order well done cooking in most states.

        *should only

        They let you order it raw if you want! Freedumb! Meanwhile there’s old meat residue on the walls and ceiling covered in flies in the processing plant. (The article is about cured meats but just work with me here).

      Is it chicken farmers we need though? Growing chicken takes more food than it produces.

        You’re not wrong, though chicken is at least 10x better than beef, and “only” 10x worse than plants.
